For those who don't know french what this says is that the PS3 broke sales records in France, which includes exceeding the Nintendo Wii's launch numbers. I don't want to start a console fanboy war but when I read something ignorant I feel the need to correct said ignorant person, in this case MalaKa911.

Wait a Minute! Are you trying to tell me that people just take a bunch of images, put them together in some sort of sequence, and then put it into an HTML page with a looping sound effect, and call it a YTMND! HOLY F*CKBATS. I thought all YTMND's were made by a mixture of Sunshine and Unicorn Farts.
Nice insult, 'rosef.

"lol, funny how the name of the place that all the people would be waiting is called the VIRGIN megastore." - um... why is that extra funny ? Who's the 'virgin' in this scenario ? No, I'd say there's nothing particularly funny about "the name of the place that all the people would be waiting is called the VIRGIN megastore"

Your logic fails miserably. Keep in mind that GTA is ALSO no longer exclusive. MGS is a lackluster overrated piece of sh*t anyway. Final Fantasy games have sucked *ss since 7. Wii60 and a good PC is all a professional gamer needs. Anything else is for n00bs.

"Wii is a $250 Gamecube controller, not excellent games. Thus it's MGS4/FF13 v. Halo3/Gears. Take your pick." - My pick is that anyone that even thinks about making such an argument about console v. console needs to realize that nobody gives a sh*t (unless you're 13 years old, of course). I have a Wii and I'm happy with it, I don't care how much it sucks/rules compared to anything else.

How is that a fact? Do you have a time machine that can compare a game released 1 year down the PS3's lifespan. People who compare Gears to Resistance and then say HA! are fools... this whole debate is stupid.

Genju 2 is a game thats based on ancient japanese history. Being based on history, many of the battles actually took place. So here's this giant enemy crab, and you attack its weak point for massive damage.

Trash. But still.. I'm no fanboy. The sound clip you made is terrible, it's really ear piercingly loud, especially the crickets. Crows are not associated with this sort of thing. Just crickets, wind, and maybe one of those balls of twigs that roll around.. uhh. TUMBLEWEED

Resident evil>super smash>metal gear solid> wii> rofflebox360>ps3
and yes, mgs is coming out for the wii because someone hates the ps3 now.
like how ds is going down the drain.
and everyone is running to the psp now.
Hence, castlevania coming out for the psp.

"
It's even worst in France..." Only 10% of the systems sold. Also, at one of the locations, Sony gave away 37" (could be wrong on the size), to a bunch of people because they waited outside for the system. Desperate much?

"Wii is a $250 Gamecube controller, not excellent games. Thus it's MGS4/FF13
v. Halo3/Gears. Take your pick." Hate to break it to ya, but MGS4 is coming to Xbox and squaresoft is thinking about bringing ff13 to 360 also. So the only game PS3 has is Gran Turismo HD...which is nothing in comparison to Forza 2. Sorry kthxbai.

PS3 fanboys need to get over themselves.
SONY can bullsh*t all they want, they made PS3 with a subconcious philosophy in mind- make a Bluray player that just -happens- to play video games. You know, as a little side bonus. guaran-damn-tee you if it wasn't for the fact that the PS3 sells for cheaper than a lot of Bluray players I've seen on the market, they wouldn't have sold as many.

my games design teacher was talking about this. Its true. To all you americans, and most probably the rest of the world that dont know...sony has took out alot of hardware out of the ps3, then put the price up for all european costs. i mean WTF. it was all the backwards compatability stuff, because it doesnt work. I think im falling in love with the 360 now, might get one. f*ck ps3, its only got 1 good thing anyway METAL GEAR

This is both funny and sad, really...
I mean, It's never fun to see a console fail, even those with a high price. On the other hand, the corp that owns the division that made this, Sony, is a grand bunch of douches. I'm actually sort of torn between wanting this console to do better and for it to die horribly.
Oh, and , ROFL. Good Ytmnd.

i already have a 360, im definitely getting a wii way before i get a ps3. the reason no one wants a ps3 is not because there is something wrong with the ps3 itself, its that theres no awesome games for it. the wii has its n64 downloads, people are going crazy over halo 3 for the 360. the ps3, um...yeah, nothing. im pretty sure that when games like jak and daxter, or ratchet and clank, or grand theft auto, or other kick *ss ps3 exclusive games start coming out, people will start buying ps3s.

Sony: "A low-key launch is a GOOD thing! It doesn't mean nobody wants to buy it, it just means they don't want one right now. They'll buy them. Of course they will. Just, just keep, keep waiting... yeah... *sniff*"

Wii isn't a next gen console. I've owned a Wii since US release, and I haven't seen anything that is graphically superior to a regular Xbox. Excite truck is nice looking, that's about it. Xbox 360 is better than PS3 right now, but that's mainly because it's been out around a year longer and has had more time to accumulate some decent games. Give the PS3 six more months-- about the same amount of time it took Xbox 360 to get any decent games, and it will start to shine. Just my objective opinion.

None of them are really great right now. Total lack of good games as we go into the summer. When Metroid Prime 3 and Smash Bros. Brawl come out (not to mention when Nintendo stops putting Third-Party developers on a three month waiting list for dev kits, the f*cking idiots), then we'll have something to waste away our lives with. Right now, the X-Box 360 is my pick out of the other two: Both show promise, but the X-Box actually has games out, and games to come.

"^Then shouldn't that go for all consoles, dipsh*t? Heather's pointing out
that you're all fapping over the success or failure of a video game
console, and need to get lives." It is ironic this is coming from a guy named NESer.

i have a grudge against sony..i quit a game and i had to end billing 3 times before they canceled my subscription costing me about 50 bucks i didnt have to give up. so curse them and all their products.

PC will be better eventually (this summer-fall, especially when crysis comes out)
right now, though, no graphics are better than gears of war on any game ever.
everyone needs to chill out. Who cares which console is better, its whateve makes you happy.

"lol, funny how the name of the place that all the people would be waiting
is called the VIRGIN megastore." - um... why is that extra funny ?
Who's the 'virgin' in this scenario ? No, I'd say there's nothing
particularly funny about "the name of the place that all the people would
be waiting is called the VIRGIN megastore" -I don't know if you've heard of a thing called IRONY but yeah, that would be it. You're f*cking stupid. If I meet you, I'll punch you right in the ovaries.

Fanboys on YTMND? The launch sold its units, but so did the JPN and US launches. The total sales are what's important. An important illumination is that there was very little hype for the PS3 launch:

^Hey, BerryFC. Why don't you shut the f*ck up about what you don't understand, k? Because seriously, to me you're just another whiney Wii/360 fanboy. If people hate the PS3 or like it, thats their problem. But when you say Sony needs to drop the price, that makes you a f*cking dumbass. Think about it, Sony isn't going to sell a next-gen console worth $850 in parts and labor for anything less than $499-$599. Don't believe me?
